God is Thought. The brightness of our revelations
depends upon the correctness of our
doctrines,
our building blocks, our Godly
thoughts, the mind of Christ, laid one
upon another.
(Psalm 37:29) The righteous
[Heb: just, lawful] [saved] shall
inherit [Heb: possess] the
land, and dwell
therein for ever.
(Prov 2:21,22) For the upright
[Heb: straight] [vs. crooked] shall
dwell in the land, and the perfect [Heb:
without
blemish: undefiled, upright] shall remain in it.
But the wicked [Heb:
morally
wrong: ungodly] shall be cut off
[Heb: destroyed, consumed] from
the
earth, and the transgressors [Heb:
fig. to
act covertly: deal deceitfully, treacherous, unfaithful] shall
be rooted out [Heb: to tear
away: destroyed] of it.
(Prov 10:30) The righteous
[Heb: just, lawful] [saved] shall
never be removed [Heb: shaken]: but
the wicked [Heb: morally wrong:
ungodly] shall not inhabit [Heb:
reside: dwell on] the earth.
(Heb 12:27) And this word
[of God], Yet
once more, signifieth [Gk: declares] the
removing of those things that are shaken [Gk:
agitated, rocked, toppled or destroyed], as
of things that are made [by man], that
those things which cannot be shaken [created
by God] may remain [Gk:
stay: abide, continue, dwell].
THE FIRST RESURRECTION
(1 Thes 4:13-18) But I would not have you
to be ignorant
[Gk: not to know (through lack of
information)], brethren,
concerning them which are asleep [Gk:
fig. deceased: be dead], that
ye
sorrow not [Gk: be
distressed,
sad: grieved], even as others
[sorrow]
which have no hope
[1]. For if we believe
that Jesus
died and rose again, even so them also which sleep
in Jesus [who are dead
Christians and imputed for
righteousness OT Saints] will
God
bring with him [i.e., with
the
second coming of Jesus “revealed in us” Rom 8:18]. [2] For this we say unto you by the word
[Gk: logos]
of the Lord,
that we which are alive and
remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent
[Gk: precede, come before] them which are asleep [Gk: dead]. For
the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout,
with the voice of the archangel [“Michael
the archangel” Jude 1:9], and with the
trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise
first: Then we which
are alive and remain
shall be caught up [Gk:
seized:
plucked up, taken by force] together
with them [the resurrected dead in
Christ] in the clouds, to
meet
the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be
with the Lord.
Wherefore
comfort one
another with these words.
1.
(Titus 2:11-13)
For
the grace of God that bringeth
salvation hath
appeared
[Gk: to shine upon, become (literally)
visible, fig. known: give light] [i.e., Jesus Christ] to all men, Teaching us that,
denying ungodliness and worldly
lusts, we should live soberly,
righteously, and godly, in this present world [Gk: aion]; Looking
for
that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing
[Gk: manifestation, (specifically) the
advent of Christ (past or future): brightness] of
the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
THE FIRST RESURRECTION
(Rev 20:1-8) And
I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the
key of the
bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. And he laid hold on the dragon,
that old serpent, which is the Devil,
and Satan, and bound
him a thousand years, And cast him into the
bottomless pit, and shut
him up, and set a seal upon him, that he
should deceive the
nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled:
and after
that he must be loosed a little season. And I saw thrones,
and
they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto
them: and I saw the souls of
them that were beheaded
for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God,
and which had not
worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received
his mark
upon their foreheads, or
in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a
thousand years.
But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were
finished. This is
the
first resurrection. Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the
first resurrection: on such the
second death hath no power, but they
shall be priests of God
and of Christ, and shall reign [Gk:
rule] with him a thousand
years.
And when the thousand years are expired, Satan
shall be loosed
out of his prison, And shall go out to deceive the nations
which are in
the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together
to
battle: the number of whom is
as the sand of the sea.
THE FIRST RESURRECTION
O YE DRY BONES, HEAR THE WORD OF
THE LORD
(Ezek
37:1-6)
The hand of the LORD was upon me, and carried me
out in the spirit
[in a type of (hypnotic) trance] of the LORD, and set me down
in the
midst of the valley which was
full of bones [Heb: a bone
(as
strong)], And caused me to pass by
them round about: and, behold, there
were very many [human
bones] in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry.
And he
said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And
I answered, O Lord
GOD, [only]
thou knowest. Again he said unto me, Prophesy
upon these
bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the
word of the LORD.
Thus saith the Lord GOD unto these bones; Behold, I will
cause breath [i.e., the
Holy Spirit] to enter into
you, and ye shall
live: And I will lay sinews
[Heb: tendons] upon you,
and
will bring up flesh upon you, and cover
you with skin, and put
breath [i.e., the Holy
Spirit] in you, and
ye shall live;
and ye shall know [Heb: understand] that I am
the LORD.
BREATH
(Ezek
37:7,8)
So I prophesied as I was commanded: and
as I prophesied, there
was a noise, and behold a shaking
[Heb: uproar: commotion, confused
noise, earthquake, quaking, rattling]
[Heb: 12:27], and the
bones came
together, bone to his bone. And when I
beheld, lo, the sinews and
the flesh came up upon them, and the skin
covered them above: but
there was no breath in them.
AN EXCEEDING GREAT ARMY
(Ezek
37:9,10)
Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind,
prophesy, son of
man, and say to the wind [a
symbol
of the Holy Spirit], Thus saith the
Lord GOD; Come from the four winds, O
breath, and breathe upon
these slain, that they may live. So I
prophesied as he commanded me,
and the breath came into them, and they
lived, and stood up
upon their feet, an exceeding great army.
THE FIRST RESURRECTION
(Ezek
37:11-14)
Then he said unto me, Son of man, these
bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our
bones are dried,
and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts. Therefore prophesy
and say
unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O my people,
I will open
your graves, and cause you to come up out of your
graves [i.e., be
resurrected], and bring
you into the land of Israel.
And ye shall know that I am
the LORD, when I have opened your graves,
O my people, and brought
you up out of your graves, And shall put my [Holy] spirit in
you,
and ye shall live, and I shall place you in
your own land [during the
Millennium]: then shall ye know [Heb: understand]
that I the LORD have spoken it, and performed it,
saith the LORD.
1.
(Hosea
13:14) I will
ransom them from the power of the grave; I will
redeem them from death:
O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be thy destruction:
repentance
shall be hid from mine eyes.
Amen
